Pity I missed the sunday morning contour path ride. I was looking forward to that. Oh well... now I have an excuse to go back one of these days 🍻
Just tell me when you want to go
@ianb will have to join us too :)
 
I'm really sorry I wasn't there to see everyone heading off home and to thank them for an awesome weekend.

Well now Jon, I'm sure that goes for everyone who was there also.... but that's why we said our koebaais the eve before! 😋
Was a great bash with lekker riding, and let it be known that 12 yo Finn did a GREAT job!!!!

I had to leave early, for the Sea2Sea Transkei event with a bunch of good lads - from which I returned today. Awesome riding in stunning scenery, you should be there next year too! (y)

Easy: it is a 3-day RedCherry Event led by Mike Glover - the website found here: https://www.seatosea.co.za/

First time for me to join this outfit (had met/rode with Eddie Sullivan before though) so didn't know what to expect, and I was probably the only dude who didn't know Mike - which is a "naughty bugger" according to @P.K. who went to school with him it appears, so that must have been a HKGK period in their lives 😋

Anyway, nice routes to ride, challenging at times, long enough too (this is why I had to think of you Jon lol), so tricky even in fact that it wore out a few others which are better riders than me.... but hey, this is the Wild Coast after all.
Biggish group, I'd say 40 odd guys and a girl also, a Hanneli who also rode Silver.
The Gold group was fastest of course, and @Renrew now has, wait for it!!!!!, a scratch on his bike because he dropped it somewhere :ROFLMAO:
Mostly 2strokes but also a few 4's, even a 500 who did Silver, with Fick on it who's not a too-regular rider - but he did very well, he surprised a few in our group (y)
You on your trusted 500 will do well there, just don't expect to ride it all: sukkel n biki also boetie.... but this is why I like this ride, there's oooh-shit moments for all who partake!
There were also 2 Adventure Riders (T7 & BMW650XChallenge) who even rode some of the Gold route bits, very capable riders them 👌

Excellent organizing, professional FirstAid teams with paramedics** & a bakkie, good lodging with sterling catering too, and the group itself had some sterling riders without even a hint of prima-donna attitude, they proved normal helpful chaps ...... in short camaraderie was abundant, we were one group: GREAT!
Recommended to anyone who likes a well organized challenging group ride in a stunning part of our country! 👌


** : they had to attend to one broken wrist and a properly sprained ankle, both on the first day so that was the end of their riding for both, shame

You will 100% enjoy it! And it’s close-ish for you.

3 days of good riding, nice terrain and pleasant people.

I would recommend Gold route, very manageable.
 
Just checking out the pics from last year's Bash

Still some accommodation left for anyone who wants to come to this year's Bash, 30 August to 1 September

I have been following the developments with some jealousy for months, Jon. If I weren't in the Kruger I would most definitely have been there!
 
Enjoy your time in Kruger Roux, I was there last month.

Will add you to next year's Bash list (y)🤣
